@DannyBuckUEA I did a few years back and if you can focus on the spectacle and forget the street lights and other modern stuff it is great. The participants are also very affable and enjoy explaining their 'other' lives. Well worth the trip!
@anbfoden Of course let's not forget the other more successful action that day...
The Charge of the gallant three hundred, the Heavy Brigade!
Down the hill, down the hill, thousands of Russians,
Thousands of horsemen, drew to the valley—and stay’d;

@StowMaries_Ian@sauldavid66 Yes a very good read. Having lived in Hamilton Ontario and met a few of the characters in the book it was all the more interesting.
@RHChelsea Phil, As always a well thought out piece, delivered at the right tempo may I say. Thanks for the company and engaging conversation all these years. best wishes for the future. John
@ArmdCavRDG@RoyalArmdCorps Excellent photographs, each man has a story to tell, its a shame when they are not recorded. I have a couple of my Uncles like this from his time in India with the 5th and it was a real treat to hear him relate his time in the saddle!
